Nintendo DS Video Clip: Ratatoullie

Sorry for the lack of posts the past few days. I just accepted a new job and am working on getting stuff in order to move across the country for the job which starts the day after Labor Day. Thus there probably will not be many posts if any for the next week or so. Below is a video clip I did last week for Ratatoullie.

This was an interesting game to try out. I was not a big fan of the adventure mode part, but I really enjoy the cooking recipe part. That part was similar to doing Cooking Mama, which is a game I like. Overall, though I really think that this game ends up being too complicated for the young kid age group that it mostly will appeal to. I personally did not have much trouble playing it, but I doubt that most older games would want to play this game. Click on the thumbnails below for a larger view of the screenshots.

It took me forever to get a presentable video clip of doing a spell. Here is the result of the reparo level spell. I played a little more after this level, but I gave up soon after because I got very frustrated at how hard it was to get it to enter the spellcasting screen, which is what is in this video clip. It is very easy once that opens, but way to frustrating to figure out how to open it.

Here are some screenshots I took before I got too frustrated with the game and mailed it back to the rental place. I really am surprised at the complexity of it. I am sure if I cared to try longer I would eventually get the hand of casting the spells, but it is the fact that I know the button to push to cast it and it just does not always work and I do know my DS is in perfect working condition. The graphics are good though. Click on the thumbnails below to see a larger version of the images.

I finally got around to doing some video clips of this game. I still find it very enjoyable to play. I have pretty much beat the story mode. Also, I did finally figure out how the calorie counter thing works.

My brother thinks that the Dementor level was the most worthy of a video clip, so I took his advice and did my clip for this game on the dementor level. I will admit this level is a great example of you starting as a wizard and really getting to feel like you are casting magic with the Wiimote. Click the link below to see the short clip.

While I was on vacation my brother bought this game for himself. He let me come over and play a little of the beginning and take some screenshots. It is really an awesome game. You really feel part of the game and the wizarding world. I love how you are casting the spells using the Wiimote as your wand. Also, it is nice how the Nunchuck is used for controlling your movements through the game. Not to mention the graphics are amazingly realistic, although you can still tell they are a video game and not the real thing they are still by far the best in the Harry Potter series so far. I will probably try to get him to let me play some more some time, as I did not have enough time to get very far, however every part I played so far was pretty simple without being boring.
